BACK DAY STAPLES 🌸
Got to play on some cool machines and weirdly angled basic movements this weekend and that’s always a challenge and a blast 🤘🏼
When I’m on vacation I don’t change much about my training, really just go in and do whatever I like!

#motivateyourself

Y’all, pack your patience, cause this is a long one. Let’s talk numbers. What do you do when you feel like you’re doing all you can, eating right, working out, and the scale won’t move? Or even worse, it goes up? Guess what, I am personally experiencing this right now! The past month I have eaten better than I have in months; gotten in all my protein daily, taken all my vitamins, been dancing my booty off, and up until this week, I have felt incredible. So tell me why when I stepped on the scale yesterday, it was up 5+ pounds from last week? To say that I’m frustrated is an understatement. I’m frustrated and confused. But I’ve found myself doing some extra analyzing and I just wanted to share some thoughts with y’all.
1-I have been snacking some. Even though they are healthy snacks, they are still snacks. People have mixed feelings about snacks; but for me, if I’m getting all my protein in, then I shouldn’t be snacking.
2-My carb intake has been up. I know there’s a revolution right now about how all carbs aren’t bad, and I agree. BUT again, for me, carbs are the worst and make me feel blah.
3-It could be some water weight. My muscles have been insanely sore and I have just felt so bloated the past week. I have been drinking water but not as much as I should be.
4-Food Journaling is key. I am going to either start entering on an app or writing down every single thing that goes in my mouth. Yes, I track my food, but if I snack, sometimes I don’t track that, so I have to hold myself accountable.
5-Notice the little things. I have been thinking about how much creamer I put in my coffee, and how those “little” calories and carbs really do add up. Or a bite of this, here and there can add up.
6-I’m not gonna let it defeat me. I’m gonna keep pushing, keep exercising, and keep a positive attitude. You do the same!
I know from experience how frustrating it is to not see the scale move, but you can’t give up. All you can do is better. Better than yesterday. Wake up and be better, wake up and do better, wake up and eat better, wake up and workout better, just be better than you were yesterday, that’s all you can do. Leggings are @fitbootyapparel!
